We are so excited for the opportunities before us over the next two weeks!

As you may know, MPVR is having Del Bigtree flown in from California to meet with our legislators!

Del will be at the capitol on Tuesday, Jan 10th and Wednesday, Jan 11th. Del is the 2x Emmy Award winning medical investigative journalist and producer of the daytime talk show, The Doctors. More importantly, he is the producer of the the documentary film, Vaxxed: From Cover Up to Catastrophe.

If you would like to set up an appointment between Del and your legislator, please let me know ASAP. He is phenomenally gifted at communicating with lawmakers and we are fortunate to have him.

PLEASE make the most of this opportunity. He will be available both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 9 until 11, both afternoons for about an hour after 1:00, and at 4:00 on Wednesday. Anyone in the Jackson area who can make it both days, try to utilize Tuesday morning. Please send me a private FB message, call, or shoot me a text.

Our tees serve as great conversation starters and educate the mom behind you in the grocery store checkout line! We would LOVE to see you all wearing your Official MPVR Tees when we have our 2017 MPVR Day at the Capitol with Vaxxed producer Del Bigtree! This is going to be an exciting eventful year. Please don't wait to order if you want yours in time for Mississippi's 2017 Legislative Session which starts just after the holidays!

Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights (MPVR.org) champions state and federal laws that advocate the basic human right of parents to be the final authority in their children’s healthcare, including vaccinations. We are focused on defending the freedom of informed voluntary consent.

This campaign will run until Dec. 23 through Teespring and acts as a fundraiser for MPVR.

Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights has been hard at work tirelessly to get Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe to theaters across the state. We are both thankful and thrilled to announce that Vaxxed is coming to a theater near you in August. View the Official Vaxxed trailer:

Vaxxed: From Cover Up to Catastrophe has played to packed theaters across Mississippi.

Madison, MS | Malco Grandview Theatre

• Sold Out | MOVED TO A LARGER SCREEN: Tuesday, August 16 at 7:30pm SOLD OUT!

(We are working to bring Vaxxed to a theater in the Gulf Coast Region.)

The fraudulent CDC science that Vaxxed brings to light only confirms our state's most rigid, oppressive vaccine law in the nation MUST be changed. We now know it is scientific fact that the MMR vaccine is causing autism in some children when it is given according to the CDC and Mississippi mandated schedule. This is unacceptable moving forward and must stop.

If you are able, please buy an extra ticket or two and invite someone who NEEDS to see this film. It is imperative that we get those who are not yet advocates of health freedom and vaccine truth into the theaters. Invite friends, family members, and church leaders. Urge your pediatrician/nurse/doctor and certainly your lawmakers and their spouses.

Ultimately this film, turned movement, is a tool to share long-hidden truth; every Mississippian needs and deserves to see it.

For too long, parents in Mississippi have lived under the most oppressive vaccine laws and policies in the nation,. We have been lethargic and un-engaged with our lawmakers allowing the drug lobbies and those who profit from vaccines to take advantage of vulnerable young mothers and little children.

It is wrong for an agenda-driven government agency to be granted power to systematically supersede the advice of our children's doctors. Yet, in Mississippi many families and doctors testify that the Mississippi State Department of Health has habitually denied doctors' medical exemptions for vaccine vulnerable children. This inflicts great hardship on MS families, yet it is fiercely defended today by those same lobbies who put it in place years ago.

The balances in our system that should stand between corporate power and our infants and children do not exist in MS's childhood vaccination program. The government is not our children's pediatrician. The days of complacency in Mississippi are OVER. We are fighting back and we are not going away!

On March 2, 2016 Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights gathered at the Mississippi State Capitol to Rally and lobby for HB938 that will repair Mississippi's broken medical exemption process. Activist and parents across Mississippi demonstrated, using cardboard testimonials, the hardship of living under the most restrictive medical exemption vaccine law in the nation.

Frustration has been ignited by the silence of the mainstream media and the apathy of lawmakers in the face of a shocking audio confession of the CDC Whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson. In August 2014, Dr. Thompson came clean, then produced evidence that he and his fellow senior scientists at the CDC covered up data linking Autism to the MMR vaccine.

This October, men and women from all across the United States, of different races and religions, congregated outside of the Centers for Disease Control Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia to Rally for Truth, Transparency and Freedom. Among them were our some of our own members of Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights who sacrificed their time, energy, and finances to represent parents everywhere to demand the US Legislature order an investigation and the truth regarding the CDC's own research on vaccines and Autism.

This is a photograph of Hunter taken at the CDC Rally in Atlanta. Hunter's mom and warrior, Stacey Spencer Hansen, had to flee her home state of Mississippi just to protect her sweet, vaccine injured daughter from further mandatory vaccines. After many attempts, she was NOT able to obtain a medical exemption for her daughter Hadley - despite specialists' exemption request letters to the Mississippi State Department of Health, and despite her daughter's injury being acknowledged in vaccine court as being a vaccine injury! Stacey lobbied the Mississippi Legislature in 2013 telling her nightmare, alongside so many others who plead to simply protect their children from ‪#‎2many2soon‬. This is our grave reality in reality in Mississippi.

Hunter's sister Hadley had seizures immediately following her shots when she was little, and has to be on medication in attempt to control them.

MPVR Lobby day at the capitol yesterday was AMAZING. We had a great crowd of activists and it is apparent that we are being heard! Let's ride this wave of momentum and get this done!

Please do NOT wait for someone else to do the work we need YOU to do. It is going to take all of us. The medical community is pushing back HARD, but we are the voters...they can only listen if we are in their ear.

We need EVERYONE making calls to the representatives on the Education Committee. We expect that our bill will be brought up in committee. We need a majority vote to make it onto the next step which is a vote on the house floor.

Our bill author, Representative Mark Formby has asked that we get 16+ cosponsors out of the Education Committee to make certain it passes! That is our priority at this time.

How do we meet that goal?

...We need YOU calling & asking for their support. If/when you have that; ask them to go to the clerk's office and sign on to House Bill 130 then, notify MaryJo and I or your regional director in the appropriate facebook group.

You can text details: lindey: 601.3four1.4359maryjo: 601.5four0.1665

Use our talking points and confidently call them! Our legislation is being talked about; they expect to hear from us. As we approach the weekend, this is an excellent time to call them at home!

Tips:• Focus first on those who represent your district if that applies to any of these • Work on to the others focusing on those who have not yet committed to cosign• Be kind and gracious; stick to the talking points. :)

Begin with any of these who are your representatives and let them know you are their constituent, but call as many as you can. If you don't reach them, leave a message letting them know you are seeking support of HB130 and would like them to return your call. If you don't hear back from them please call again later or the next day. Persistence is key :)

If you haven't signed our petition yet please do that. Link is at the top of the blog. Please also share it via facebook and email!

Our lobby day at the capitol was fantastic. We are hearing that the vaccine rights legislation is being discussed much and are so pleased to see that there is copious support, just as there was last year in the house. Knowing our bill has the opportunity to be heard in committee has provided us the hope and ambition to really fight for it's success.

Leading up to the event, MaryJo had two radio interviews; she was fantastic!

Our bill's author is a true champion for this important legislation! Representative Formby met with some of us Thursday morning to discuss our legislation.

We have some precious mascots that are so worth fighting for!

A few more from the day...

As the mother of a vaccine injured child who has been bullied by the MSDH, our Lauren being brave and sharing her story during speaker Gunn's ideas tour made quite the impression on representative Bill Kincade.

We had several men at the capitol this year fighting for our cause; here are just a few of them.

Warriors going to battle.

Romans 8:31: What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

You may need change for parking. We will update with other parking details.

Initially, we will meet in the lobby of the Capitol near the steps in the rotunda between 9 and 9:30 a.m. There is a table reserved for us in the rotunda at 12:30 where we will be giving out information to our legislators as they come and go and also provide coffee and baked goods.

We are planning to also have a rally on the capitol steps sometime in late January or early February, so please check back for details.
